This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face. And now you're confidently tossing around "scientific" explanations, claiming I'm paralysed on one side? Are you kidding me?” 

She added, “These are SERIOUS claims being casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up."
